Linebacker Sherrill Headrick was an AFL original. Teammates called him “Psycho” because of his fearless style of play and reckless style off the field. And his ability to play through pain was legendary. But Headrick, one of the most colorful characters during the formative years of the Chiefs franchise, died Wednesday, September 10th after a long battle with cancer. He was 71.
Headrick, inducted into the Chiefs Hall of Fame in 1993, was a five-time AFL All-Star and the franchise’s starting middle linebacker in the 1962 and 1966 AFL championship games and the first Super Bowl.
